AIM To determine the safety, efficacy, and need to measure peak serum vancomycin concentrations in a neonatal population using a standard vancomycin dosage regimen. METHOD A total of 101 infants who were admitted to a regional neonatal intensive care unit and received vancomycin (15 mg/kg every 12 or 18 hours depending on postnatal age) were studied retrospectively. Infants who had been start...

The study was conducted to determine the influence of D-aspartic acid (D-Asp) as antioxidant supplement and thawing rates on ram sperm motility, membrane integrity, abnormality, viability, mitochondria activity, malondialdehyde and antioxidant activities, and total antioxidant capacity after freezing-thawing process. Semen samples from five mature rams (3-4 years old) were diluted with extender...

Nigella sativa L. (family Ranunculaceae) is an annual herb of immense medicinal properties because of its major active components (i.e., thymoquinone (TQ), thymohydroquinone (THQ), and thymol (THY)). Plant tissue culture techniques like elicitation, Agrobacterium mediated transformation, hairy root culture, and so on, are applied for substantial metabolite production. This study enumerates the ...

The single and combinational effects of cadmium (Cd) and fluoranthene (FLT) on germination, growth and photosynthesis of soybean seedlings were investigated. Exposure to 5, 10, or 15 mg Cd/L or 1, 5, or 10 mg FLT/L individually or in combination significantly decreased germination vigor (3 days) and final germination rate of soybean seeds, except at 1 and 5 mg FLT/L. The results of two-way ANOV...

in order to examine the effects of essential oils and silver nanoparticles as anantimicrobial preservative in the solutions of alstroemeri cv. sukari cut flowers, anexperiment was conducted with 11 treatments and 3 replications in a completelyrandomized design. in this study, we used essences of carvacrol, thymol and zataria oilwithconcentrations of 50 and 100 mg l-1 and silver nanoparticles wi...

Introduction: The presence of antibiotics due to toxicity and sustainability as well as organic compounds as a combination of hard biodegradable wastewater is an undesirable issue in many industries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of dissolved air flotation process for aniline and penicillin G removal from aqueous solutions. Methods: This was an empirical-lab study to w...

lead is an ubiquitous environmental toxin that induces a broad range of physiological biochemical, and behavioral dysfunctions. in this study, we examined the pathologic effects of lead acetate in nmri mouse ovarian tissue and the protective role of antioxidant l-cysteine, against the induced damage. we used lead acetate at a dose of 10 mg/kg, and l-cysteine at a dose of 200 mg/kg. both drugs w...

Pollen viability and its germination capability for fruit set in are almond and peach essential. To optimize the pollen culture medium of almond and peach and selection of best medium, the present study was carried out with 48 different culture media containing different compositions including diverse levels of boric acid (0 and 100mg/1), calcium nitrate (0,150and300mg/l،), magnesium sulphate (...

BACKGROUND Concerns regarding increasing microbial resistance to vancomycin have resulted in recommendations for a higher trough serum vancomycin concentration. This study aimed to assess the dosage guidelines targeting vancomycin trough concentrations of 15-20 mg/L. METHODS About 216 adult patients (age, >60 yr) were treated with intravenous vancomycin. The patients were divided into 2 group...
